The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[HAWI]

"She's lying, Kurt… No one will save you, not even your older sister," Malika said, her voice threatening the child.

"Russ—" Kurt began but Razia sighed.

"I don't know, Malika. I really don't know who ordered the hit on Hawi this time," Razia pleaded and Malika just shrugged before she snapped Kurt's neck, earning a forced scream from Razia as the boy fell down, dead.

Razia looked helplessly at her fallen brother and she hated the situation. She wasn't sure who had ordered the second hit on Hawi but the fact that her brother had paid the price for it angered her.

She loved Kurt and she had sworn she would never hurt her and yet she had watched as her brother flailed to the ground dead. Her werewolf hearing had gotten her hearing the last of her brother's heartbeats.

It wasn't what she had imagined and that shit was fucking with her. Of all the things she had expected, this wasn't it. Razia was heartbroken even as she looked at Malika, she knew this woman wasn't done with her yet.

"I'll give you time to think, Razia. So, think and think hard, because when I come back down here and you don't have an answer for me, you will watch me bring your brother to life and I will kill him, again," Malika said as she pulled away from Razia.

Malika needed to get that answer real fast because this was a matter of life and eternal torture for the girl she had sworn to protect. She wouldn't let anyone take them back to the endless episodes of Hawi questioning herself.

They had walked through fire and ice, through emotional turmoil that had gotten them tired and more than anything, had made them wonder if Hawi was the perfect wolf for the role. There was a time when they thought that Hawi wasn't ready for it.

Then again, a little more time with Hawi, and Malika realized that the girl was haunted by a lot of things. She had an intense fear of trusting and losing the few people left in her life. She had lost everything and she couldn't lose anymore.

Malika would fight fire with fire if she had to, because only then would she be able to make sure Hawi was not thrown back into that darkness. The only darkness Hawi was supposed to be in, was the one in which she relinquished her humanity.

It was the only acceptable one given they were up against the worst of the worst at the moment. Anything other than that would take the theme back to the drawing board, and at this point of the war, that wasn't going to be good for the entire team.

"What?" Razia asked, her tears free-falling from her eyes as she watched her brother, then at Malika. She wasn't sure what the fuck had happened in the middle but this time she knew Malika wasn't bluffing.

"I'll use the breath of life and exhaust his little autistic body until there won't be anything left, and if you still insist, I will turn him into a werewolf and repeat the process, until you get me what I want. Experience new stories on m v|l e-NovelFire

"You messed with a kid I cherish, you more than anyone should know what a mother would do to protect her child. She may not be my daughter, but she is everything good for this damned race.

"So, think, Razia. And think hard, because the next time I come back, you won't just scream. You will rip your heart out yourself and I will put it back in. Don't try to fuck with what's mine, Razia," Malika said as she removed her hand from Razia's neck.

"Think," Malika said as she walked out, making sure to kick the dead boy's body to the wall, and Razia could hear the bones of her little brother break into pieces from the impact of the hit. It wasn't fair, but what was there for her?

"Hawi," Malika called out when she reached her mistress's suite. She knew Hawi had a rule about harming children but this was leverage and frankly, Malika was more than ready to take whatever her Mistress saw fit.

Life hadn't gone the way they had planned for and they were a little too late on the bandwagon to humanity. There was no reason for them to hold on to it, and maybe that's why Hawi had left or maybe she had left.

Staring around the rock that had acne been filled with hair and scissors, Malika was met with a clean suite. It was almost like they hadn't even been here to mess it up or even better about the damned buzz cut she was having at the moment.

"Mistress?" Malika called out again as she listened for heartbeats. She wasn't sure what to expect with Hawi, and with the way things were, anything was possible and she needed to be able to be there for Hawi regardless.

"Are you done?" Hawi asked as she walked out of the showers, making Malika stare in relief. She had been thinking of so many things with how Hawi had left, but the fact that she was here and relaxed, was actually encouraging.

"You're not… I thought—" Malika began but Hawi just chuckled.

"Thought that I left? That I couldn't handle everything? Come on Malika, you should know better than that by now. We are not here to make friends. Everyone wants us dead and the least we can do is get the answers before we head on with the massacre.

"Did you get any answers from Razia?" Hawi asked as she walked around looking for cleaner clothes. It Had been years since she touched her closet and now that she was finally opening it, she felt a little close to home.

Once again, she was hit with the memories of her mother and her designs. Eniola always bought new designs for her daughter to choose from, before she made her clothes and that was the one thing that Hawi missed at the moment.

Her mother would always know what to say and what to do. It was just a pity that eternity was an awfully long time for her. Well, at least she was never going to be alone in her battles anymore.

"Not really. I'll still go and make her talk. We need to be able to find a way to fuck that bond up, because your ex is a dumb idiot. However, he is a puppet being used by someone.

"Once we have a name, we can be able to know what to do. But until then, we wait," Malika said and Hawi sighed. Waiting did sound like a good idea, but she couldn't help but wonder what was happening with Ruru.

Neither of them had opened the mind-link and it was strange really. Hawi wanted to, but she wasn't sure if Rukiya was already on her way or if they were already fighting. There was a lot that needed to be considered.

"She's fine, Hawi. She's an alpha too, remember?" Malika said when she realized that Hawi was deep in thought. There was only one person who could make Hawi have that sad face of longing and it was the Greyson girl.

"She's out there, alone. I should be able to protect her. I shouldn't have sent her alone," Hawi sighed as she dressed up.
